Hello, my buddies friend owns a wheel shop and is going to powder coat the black wheels that came on my SPP, i hate the chrome rim, it needs to go. Should I go all black, or go anti matter grey to match the body color?

I may not be the best one to weigh in but I would go all black to to leave a little contrast and not get too monochrome. But either way I can’t wait to see it.

Ya i think all Black may be best. I did full tint today all around. Chrome delete on the chrome under windows being done Friday and then I go Saturday to work out powder coat, should be done by next week. I will post pics when it is done. I do have to say, the 9 month wait was more than worth it, SSP is crazy.

Can't wait to see the pictures. I haven't decided if I want to powder coat the current wheels or try to sell and purchase a different set.

Yeah definitely want that. Oddly enough though I'm having a harder time finding a place to actually do it. All of the local shops I've contacted are only doing full wraps and not smaller jobs which I can understand but still annoying.

I don’t mind the chrome bits on mine. I have stone blue, I think it’s actually a nice contrast but still subtle. Even the wheels. I was going to get the aluminum brushed over. But it’s growing on me.

I did mine myself and I have no experience. Wasn’t too bad once you get the method down. I should have started on a straight piece instead of under the mirror which was the hardest. I used knifeless tape and would recommend it.

What size 3M roll did you get? 1" width?
I keep trying to book someone but don't ha e the time to drop of the vehicle etc. Would be easier to do myself in the driveway.

I got the 2 inch roll x 50 feet on Amazon and some 3M knifeless tape. I also really recommend the gloves.

Do you plan to also do the C pillar?
I did the chrome strip completely, from the nose around the tail. I had to look up what the C pillar was, haha. I'm assuming that's what you meant? The strip along the bottom of the C pillar?

I think he was asking did you black out the C pillar between the back door and back window to match the color of the black between the front and back doors. I think it would cause the roof to 'float' with such a color discrepancy, only would black it out if you covered the roof in film too personally.

Yeah I didn't do the pillar. I like it matching the rest of the dark matter color for me.

I think it looks quite nice. It's how Lincoln Navigator looks. There are several threads with pictures on here showing what it looks like as well.

Did you get it back yet? I've been anxiously awaiting the pics!
